The automatic shooting range in this case is 0.6 to 4.0m (2 .0 to 13 ft.) at A1 and 0.6m to 8.0m (1 .0 to 26 ft.) at A2 . For a subject more than 4m away,'the only usable flstop is f/4 . With a subject 3m away, you can select either f/8 or f/4 . If a shorter recycling time is preferable , use f/4 . If greater depth of field is desired, use f/8 .
